Gracie's Prayer

Gracies's Prayer Amazing Grace, how sweet the taste A song I dread up to these days Dear Mommy Mommy, can you hold my hands? Show me how to make God understand? Will you hold my hand, like when we would pray, maybe then he will listen to the words I say! How do I ask God, If I can keep you for another day? I promise this time to pray for you every day Mommy, please share beautiful words before you say good-bye. I thank you for the shoes I've grown to love and tie What am I going to do when I want to talk and be with you?" Now who's gonna take care of me when I'm feeling blue? Mommy will you still protect me, when you are gone?" Defended me, no matter the trouble I will put myself in. You always explained the reasons why I was here. You also taught me, how to face my fears away Now how am I going to find my way home? Are you still going to whisper words, saying "I'M NOT ALONE!" Mommy why is everyone offering their sympathy? No one compares to your supportive heart when it came to me. Mommy, can you make the suffering stop? Don't you know you are all I got Mommy, I have no cure for what is in you All I can offer is what is in me. I want to go and outside and play, with you Hold my hand and take me with you to the other-side. The place you spoke of when it came to Amazing Grace. Your new sweet surrender resting place. *** Mom I'm here to visit you again. A place where baskets are offered by family and friends. Mom, can I stay here forever with you? Hold me the way you use too. Mom, to you I sing a lullaby of praise Mommy, can you hear me? (ending metaphor) Digging deep into the ground, There and only there can you be found. One last breath shared with the open skies. Mommy, can I go with you? *to my mom* By: PD
